Airport capital that is already committed.
A monthly brief on terminal, airside and systems spending that operators have signed themselves up to — read out of the regulatory record, with the figures, the sources and the dates attached.
The problem
By the time a tender appears, the shortlist is usually already formed.
The spending behind that tender was committed long before it — in a tariff settlement, a concession investment trigger, a master plan approved by the regulator. Those documents are public. They are also scattered across a dozen agencies in a dozen languages, published as PDFs nobody indexes, and quoted in currencies of different base years.
Marker Beacon reads them, so the commitment reaches you while there is still time to be in the room.

Coverage
Latin America
Mexico's master development programmes, Brazil's concession investment triggers, Chile and Colombia's concession settlements.
Europe
The regulated capital settlements — Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Germany — where five-year spending is fixed in advance.
Gulf & Asia-Pacific
The large operator groups and state authorities, tracked through their own published capital plans.
Built around 29 operator groups, roughly 500 airports, sequenced so that each issue goes deep on one regulatory regime rather than thin on all of them.
Who it is for
Companies that sell into airport projects and need to know about them early:
- Passenger boarding bridges, baggage handling, hold baggage screening
- Airfield lighting, navigation aids, apron and runway systems
- Terminal fit-out — seating, wayfinding, flooring, façades
- Airport IT, operational systems and resource management
- Master planning, engineering and design consultancies
